Do what feels right to you, not what you think looks right. Cry if you want, it has helped me many times.

Re: The worst day of my life

A ship sails and I stand<br />watching till she fades on the<br />horizon,and someone at my<br /> side says, " She is gone".<br />Gone where? Gone from my<br />sight, that is all. She is just as<br /> large as when I saw her...<br />The diminished size and total<br /> loss of sight is in me, not in<br />her, and just at the moment<br /> when some one at my side<br />says, "She is gone", there are <br />others who are watching her<br /> coming,and other voices<br />take up a glad shout, "there <br />she comes"!<br /><br /> B Brent.

Nate,<br />Went through the same thing 5+ years ago. Mom&Dad were out of state on vacation I got the phone call, got on a plane a short time later, Dad was gone before my plane took off. Family, friends and faith will guide you through this. It su**s, it hurts and there is nothing you can do to change it, but it will get better, hang in there Nate.

Re: The worst day of my life

Nate, I can emphasize with you as we lost our father not long ago also. The following helped:<br /><br /> Footprints <br /><br />One night I had a dream--<br />I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord <br />and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. <br />For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, <br />one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. <br />When the last scene of my life flashed before me,<br />I looked back at the footprints in the sand.<br />I noticed that many times along the path of my life,<br />there was only one set of footprints.<br />I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest<br />and saddest times in my life. <br />This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. <br />"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,<br />you would walk with me all the way,<br />but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life<br />there is only one set of footprints. <br />"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,<br />you should leave me." <br />The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,<br />I love you and I would never, never leave you<br />during your times of trial and suffering. <br />"When you saw only one set of footprints,<br />it was then that I carried you."<br /><br />...Mary Stevenson

"TAPS"<br />Day is done, gone the sun,<br />From the hills, from the lake,<br />From the sky.<br />All is well, safely rest,<br />God is nigh.<br /><br />Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,<br />May the soldier or sailor,<br />God keep.<br />On the land or the deep,<br />Safe in sleep.<br /><br />Love, good night, Must thou go,<br />When the day, And the night<br />Need thee so?<br />All is well. Speedeth all<br />To their rest.<br /><br />Fades the light; And afar<br />Goeth day, And the stars<br />Shineth bright,<br />Fare thee well; Day has gone,<br />Night is on.<br /><br />Thanks and praise, For our days,<br />'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,<br />'Neath the sky,<br />As we go, This we know,<br />God is nigh.<br /><br />May your personal savior be with you and your family in these trying times.

Nate, just saw this on another post. I do hurt for your loss. Left a message on the other post. This forum is amazing. Most of the posters here are like myself and have never talked to you or laid eyes on you but feel a good friends loss. I was the tough guy in our family too. Guess what? The tears felt good. Still do.
